I was talking to another DK and he told me I should be pulling in more DPS than what I am. Single target I crack about 3.3k, 25 buffed. Dummy dps self-buffed is 2500-2600. In Uld my single target seems to jump a bit more because of the armor pen.
I'm 17/0/54 build and an armory link is attached. I use PS>IT>BS>BS>SS>RD / SSx3 rot. Should my DPS be higher or am I doing something wrong?
I never really had to ask questions about my build but when someone tells me I should be pulling in 5k dps and I'm not I get worried I'm doing something horribly wrong.

Yes, you should be doing alot more dps than what you are doing. However using dummies for dps is something you shouldn't be doing.
Your rotation needs some work, and so does your spec.
1. Morbidity is essential for unholy and blood builds as DC is your major runic dump.
2. Glyphing Plague strike is always a bad idea, why buff an attack you will use only once and is your weakest attack as well. Glyph of SS works much better.
3. PS/IT/SS/BS/BS/UB/SS/SS/SS/DC dump should be your rotation. UB-Unholy blight
4. 17/0/54 is a good starter build, you don't have starter gear. I am not sure if you are ready for the 0/10/61 build yet, but more points in unholy will help you out. Namely Morbidity and Dirge.
5. Alot of dk's fail to remember to dps from behind a target which seriously will help your dps, and one of the reasons why dummies aren't good projectors of raid dps.
In far worse gear than yours I am pulling 3.3k dps on single targets with a convoluted unholy build 11/0/60. Yes it's an awful build, but it works.

I just respeced and seen a difference in single target dps. I need to respec and take points out of Annihilation and put it into Morb. I also glyphed SS, big improvement prevents me from re-applying diseases half the fight.
I ran H VH to try it out and my dps was about 150-200 higher than before. Only buff outside of my own was mark of the wild (3dks druid and mage grp). I'm guessing the points in morb will make a difference too.
If anyone else could offer some advice it would be great. I know my gear could be better, but I don't think I'm preforming to my gears potential.
